Barbed Wire Halo[00:00:01]

Well God bless Texas[00:00:10]

And Deakon Shackleford[00:00:13]

He read the bible seven times[00:00:16]

And he believed every word[00:00:19]

That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all[00:00:22]

He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw[00:00:28]

Singing[00:00:34]

"Amazing Grace[00:00:34]

How sweet the sound"[00:00:37]

That saved a wrech like me[00:00:41]

He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat[00:00:47]

He'd take me fishin' after church[00:00:54]

And taught me things I needed to know[00:00:57]

No Deakon didn't have a family[00:01:00]

Lord knows he wished he did[00:01:03]

He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid[00:01:06]

And today he joined up with Jesus[00:01:12]

Wearing shiny pearl snaps[00:01:16]

We sang a few gospel hymns[00:01:19]

And then the soldier played taps[00:01:22]

I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold[00:01:25]

Showin' off his brand spanking new wings[00:01:31]

And his barbed wire halo[00:01:37]

He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through[00:01:39]

She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo[00:01:51]

He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth[00:01:56]

He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth[00:02:03]

He lost the will to love[00:02:10]

He lost the will to live[00:02:13]

Until he met a man who taught him to forgive[00:02:16]

Yeah life took him to hell and back[00:02:22]

To hell and back a time or two[00:02:25]

But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue[00:02:28]

Singing[00:02:34]

"I once was lost[00:02:35]

But now I'm found[00:02:37]

Was blind[00:02:41]

But now I see"[00:02:43]

And today he joined up with Jesus[00:02:47]

Wearing shiny pearl snaps[00:02:50]

We sang a few gospel hymns[00:02:53]

And then the soldier played taps[00:02:57]

I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold[00:03:00]

Showin' off his brand spanking new wings[00:03:06]

And his barbed wire halo[00:03:11]

Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry[00:03:15]

And though I told him that I wouldn't I couldn't help but lie[00:03:22]

Cause today he joined up with Jesus[00:03:29]

Wearing shiny pearl snaps[00:03:33]

We sang a few gospel hymns[00:03:34]

And then the soldier played taps[00:03:37]

I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold[00:03:41]

As sure as the old church bell still rings[00:03:48]

He always said he had country in his soul[00:03:53]

He's showing off his brand spanking new wings[00:04:00]

And his barbed wire halo[00:04:05]

Sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home[00:04:07]
